BIO
Professor Craig Wendorf serves as Assistant Dean of the School of Behavioral and Social Sciences. He began teaching in the UWSP Department of Psychology in 2001 after earning his Ph.D. at Wayne State University. He served as department chair from 2010-2020. Wendorf received the 2009 UW-Stevens Point Excellence in Teaching Award. As a social and cultural psychologist, he has a broad interest in statistical methods and the scholarship of teaching and learning.
